Overview

Menahem Segal is a researcher affiliated with the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. Their work primarily spans the field of medicine, with a strong focus on nephrology. Throughout their career, Segal has contributed to research in several subfields including cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, epidemiology, public health, environmental and occupational health, and surgery.

The main topics addressed in Segal's research include dialysis and renal disease management, chronic kidney disease and diabetes, health systems, economic evaluations, and quality of life. Additional research interests cover acute kidney injury, sepsis diagnosis and treatment, organ donation and transplantation, and peripheral artery disease management.

Segal has published extensively, with papers appearing in a range of scientific journals. Frequent publication venues include:

  • Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
  • Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Circulation
  • American Journal of Nephrology

Some of Segal's recent papers demonstrate the range and focus of their scientific contributions. These include:

  • Kidney tubular epithelial cell ferroptosis links glomerular injury to tubulointerstitial pathology in lupus nephritis (2022, Clinical Immunology)
  • Pro Re Nata Antihypertensive Medications and Adverse Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study (2021, Hypertension)
  • Utilization of CMS pre-ESRD Kidney Disease Education services and its associations with the home dialysis therapies (2020, Peritoneal Dialysis International)
  • Association of persistent acute kidney injury and renal recovery with mortality in hospitalized patients (2021, BMJ Health & Care Informatics)
  • Tubular Biomarkers and Chronic Kidney Disease Progression in SPRINT Participants (2020, American Journal of Nephrology)

Collaboration has been a significant aspect of Segal's academic activity. Frequent co-authors include Ashutosh M. Shukla, Tezcan Ozrazgat-Baslanti, Azra Bihorac, Rajesh Mohandas, and Tyler J. Loftus. These collaborative relationships highlight a network of researchers working across related topics in medicine and nephrology.

Segal was recognized with membership in the Academia Europaea in 2006, reflecting an acknowledgment within the broader European academic community.
